What is OPC UA?

________________________________________________________________

What is OPC UA?
OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is a standard of the OPC Foundation. OPC UA...
• ...allows for safe, reliable data transport between the field device level and manufacturerindependent software applications.
• ...allows to write/read the parameters of Lenze devices with software from different
manufacturers.
2.1
OPC UA in the »EASY Starter«
From version 1.6 on, the »EASY Starter« contains an OPC UA server with which the software of a
different manufacturer can access the parameters of the Lenze devices via the standardised OPC UA
interface in order to read/write values.
Advantages
The OPC UA standard has the following advantages:
• State of the art according to the OPC Foundation.
• On the OPC client side: access independent of the operating system; therefore remote access
possible with software which supports other operating systems than Microsoft Windows.
• Improved safety in remote maintenance with little configuration effort of the firewall settings
through coded communication and certificate verification.
Supported devices: which Lenze devices can I access?
Access is possible to all Lenze devices and communication links supported by the »EASY Starter«.
• The OPC UA server allows for the access to all current Lenze devices of the L-force product
portfolio.
• Furthermore access is possible to previous versions of the Global Drive series (8200, 9300, ECS).
The access to these devices was previously realised via "Drive Server" which has been replaced
by the newer OPC UA standard.
Supported software: which software allows the access?
The software with which you would like to access Lenze devices via OPC UA must act as OPC UA
client and support the OPC UA functionality.

2. Add the required devices to the »EASY Starter« (area ),
3. Save the configuration by clicking the button (area ).
• The »EASY Starter« writes a configuration file, then the access to the Lenze devices is
prepared.
